◾ Maintain Trimmer With Care – Keep the cutting attachment clean for best performance and to reduce the risk of injury. Follow instructions for changing accessories. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

◾ Check Damaged Parts – Before further use of the trimmer, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorised service center unless indicated elsewhere in this manual.

◾ Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or line that can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting attachment. Make sure that other persons and pets are at least 15m away.

◾ Avoid Accidentally Starting–Don’t carry the trimmer with your finger on the trigger.

◾ Do not operate the trimmer in petrolic or explosive atmospheres. Motors in these appliances normally spark, and the sparks might ignite fumes.

◾ Damage to Trimmer – If you strike a foreign object with the trimmer or it becomes entangled, stop the tool immediately, remove the battery pack from the line trimmer, check for damage and have any damage repaired before further operation is attempted. Do not operate with a broken guard or spool.

◾ If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor , remove the battery pack from the line trimmer. and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble. A loose head may vibrate, crack, break or come off the trimmer, which may result in serious or fatal injury. Make sure that the cutting attachment is properly fixed in position. If the head loosens after fixing it in position, replace it immediately. Never use a trimmer with a loose cutting attachment.

◾ Replace a cracked, damaged or worn-out cutting head immediately, even if damage is limited to superficial cracks. Such attachments may shatter at high speed and cause serious or fatal injury.

◾ Check the cutting attachment at regular short intervals during operation, or immediately if there is a noticeable change in cutting behavior.

◾ Only use EGOTM authorised polymer trimmer line accessories and trimmer line that are designed for use with this machine. Although certain unauthorised attachments might be fitted to the EGOTM line trimmer, their use may be extremely dangerous, and/or damaging to the tools.

◾ To reduce the risk of serious injury, never use wire or metal-reinforced line or other material in place of the nylon cutting lines. Pieces of wire could break off and be thrown at high speed toward the operator or bystanders.

◾ To reduce the risk of injury from loss of control, never work on a ladder or on any other insecure support. Never hold the cutting attachment above waist height.

◾ If situations occur that are not covered in this manual, use care and good judgment. Contact the EGO Service Center for assistance.

◾ Do not charge the battery pack in rain, or in wet locations.

USING THE LINE TRIMMER

WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, wear goggles or safety glasses at all times when operating this unit. Wear a face mask or dust mask in dusty locations.

Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects, such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or line, that can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting at-tachment. Clear the area of children, bystanders, and pets. At a minimum, keep all children, bystanders and pets at least 15m away; there still may be risk to bystanders from thrown objects. Bystanders should be encouraged to wear eye protection. If you are approached, stop the motor and cutting attachment immediately.

Before each use, check for damage/worn partsCheck the bump head, guard and front-assist handle and replace the parts that are cracked, warped, bent, or damaged in any away.

The line-cutting blade on the edge of the guard can dull over time. It is recommended that you periodically sharpen with a file or replace it with a new blade.

WARNING: Always wear gloves when mounting the guard or servicing the blade. Take care of the blade on the guard and protect your hand from cutting.

After each use, clean the trimmer.

CAUTION: Obstructions in the vents will prevent the air from flowing into the motor housing and result in overheating or damaged of the motor.

◾ Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

◾ Keep air vents in the motor housing from debris at all times.

WARNING: Never use water for cleaning your trimmer. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

ADJUSTING CUTTING LINE LENGTHThe trimmer head allows the operator to release more cutting line without stopping the motor. As line becomes frayed or worn, additional line can be released by lightly tapping the spool retainer on the ground while operating the trimmer (Fig. T).

NOTICE: Line release will become more difficult as the cutting line becomes shorter.

WARNING: Do not remove or alter the line cutting blade assembly. Excessive line length will cause the motor to overheat and may result in serious personal injury.

LINE REPLACEMENT

NOTICE: Always use the recommended nylon cutting line with a diameter that does not exceed 2.4 mm. Using line other than that specified may cause the line trimmer to overheat or become damaged.

WARNING: Never use metal-reinforced line, wire, or rope, etc. These can break off and become dangerous projectiles.

1. Remove the battery pack.

2. Remove the remaining cutting line, if necessary. Simply pull it out by hand.

3. Rotate the spool retainer in the arrow direction, as necessary, to align the LOAD line on the spool retainer with the eyelets in the spool base (Fig. U).

4. Cut 5m long cutting line, about 5 times the length of the trimmer aluminium shaft. Insert the line into the mounting hole inside the eyelet (Fig. V). Push and pull the line from the other side until equal amounts of line appear on both sides of the spool.


5. Press, while rotating the spool retainer in the arrow direction, to wind the line onto the spool until approximately 14cm of line is showing on each side (Fig. W).

6. Push the spool retainer down while pulling on the lines to manually advance the line and to check for proper assembly of the trimmer head.

When the cutting line breaks from the line outlet or the cutting line is not released when the trimmer head is tapped, follow the steps below:

1. Press the two release tabs on the spool retainer and remove the spool retainer by pulling it straight out (Fig. X).

2. Remove the cutting line from the spool retainer.

3. With one hand holding the spool base, use the other hand to grasp the spool retainer and align the tabs on the spool retainer with the holes in the spool base (Fig. Y); Use your palm to press and rotate the spool retainer left and right until the tabs lock with the spool base (Fig. Z).

4. Follow the instructions in " LINE REPLACEMENT " to reload the cutting line.

MAINTENANCE WARNING: When servicing, use only identical

replacement parts. Inspect and maintain the machine regularly. To ensure safety and reliability, all repairs should be performed by a qualified service technician.

WARNING: Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. To prevent serious personal injury, take extra precautions and care when performing maintenance, service or for changing the cutting attachment or other attachments.

WARNING: To prevent serious personal injury, remove the battery pack from the tool before servicing, cleaning, changing add-on attachments or removing material from the unit.
